CALENDAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 411,061, datedSeptember 17, 1889.

Application file d June 2l, 1889. Serial No. 315,124. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, RACHEL A. ROBINSON, of Boston, in the county ofSuffolk, State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in Calendars, of which the following is a descriptionsufficiently full, clear, and exact to enable any person skilled in theart or science to which said invention appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in which- Figure l is an elevation of my improvedcalendar; Fig. 2, a vertical transverse section of the same; Fig. 8, asectional view illustrating details, and Fig. 4 a vertical transversesection showing a modification of the improvement.

Like letters and figures of reference indicate corresponding parts inthe different figures of the drawings.

My invention relates to means for attaching the indicating-sheets to thebody1 of the calendar; and it consists in certain novel features,hereinafter fully set forth and claimed, the object being to produce asimpler, cheaper, and more effective device of this character than isnow in ordinary use.

The nature and operation of the improvement will be readily understoodby all con- Versant with such matters from the following explanation.

In the drawings, A represents the body of the calendar, and B C theindicating cards or sheets.

The body consistsV of a rectangular sheet or plate having a space b onone face for imprints or advertising purposes.

Six cards B C are employed, their faces being imprinted with theconsecutive months and days thereof in the usual manner. The card B onone face (see Fig. l.) has the days of the month of January, and on itsopposite face, in an inverted position, the days of the secondsucceeding month, or month of March, as shown by the dotted lines inFig. l. Each of the cards is imprinted in like manner, the second card Cof the series bearin g the months of February and April, dac. The cardsare grouped and hinged by their lower edges to the lower portion of thebody A by Ineans of flexible loops d. The cards are perforated centrallyat f near their upper edges, and are held in position by a loop g on thebody, said loop passing through the openings f and secured on a buttonh.

Instead of the loop g, a pivoted button 'L' (see Fig. 3) may be employedto secure the cards in position and the perforations f omitted.

The cards maybe hinged by means of rectangular metallic loops lc, (seeFig. 4,) if desired, instead of the flexible loops d, and a pivotedmetallic catch m employed to secure them.

In the use of Iny improvement at the expiration of the month of January,for example, the loop g being removed from its button, the card B may beturned downward on its hinges, the remaining cards being again securedbythe loop. Thus the succeeding card C, showing the month of February,would be exposed, (see Fig. 2,) and the reverse of Jthe card B turneddownward would display the month of March. It will be seen that thisarrangement permits cards displaying the days of two consecutive monthsto be displayed at the same time.

Having thus explained my invention, what I claim isl. A calendarcomprising a body and a series of grouped cards hinged by their loweredges thereto, said cards being respectively imprinted with the days ofone month and of the second succeeding month on opposite -faces,substantially as described.

2. In a calendar,indicating-cards hinged to the body thereof, each cardbeing imprinted on its face with the days of a month and on its reversewith the days of the second succeeding month in an inverted position,and held in position on said body by a catch or loop, substantially asset forth.
